In Response To: Strip: Types of wood for strip build (Eoin)

: Hi My name is Eoin and am going to attempt my first home build of strip build
: Kayak. I would like to know if anybody knows of a list of wood that I
: could use. I work with trees and have a range of wood that I send thru my
: mill.Living in Ireland though I am limited to certain species e.g.
: Fagus(beech),Larix(larch),(Elm)Ulmus,Pine,Acer(sycamore). Can any of these
: be used or is western red a must? Thanks Eoin

This wouldn't by any chance be Eoin kelly would it?

It will be great to add another Irish builder to our meagre numbers.

If you find yourself in the Sneem area I would be happy to show you around my setup.
